What Makes a Great Family Feud Topic?
Before diving into the list, here's what separates great topics from forgettable ones:
- Universal knowledge — Everyone in the room should be able to answer
- Multiple valid answers — The best questions have 6-8 plausible responses
- Debate potential — Topics that make people argue are the most fun
- Surprise factor — The top answer shouldn't be too obvious
The classic TV show surveys 100 people for each question. When you're creating your own game, think about what answers most people would give — that's where the magic happens.

Q: What Family Feud topics work best for large groups?
A: Universal topics like food, movies, and everyday life work best because everyone can participate. Avoid niche topics like specific video games or regional references. Check our guide on Family Feud for large groups for more tips.
Q: Can I create my own custom Family Feud topics?
A: Absolutely! Custom topics are often the most fun because they're tailored to your group. Our free game builder lets you create custom questions with your own answers and point values in minutes.
Q: What topics should I avoid in Family Feud?
A: Avoid anything too controversial (politics, religion in mixed groups), overly specific knowledge questions, and topics where there's only one right answer. Family Feud works best with opinion-based survey questions.
